Crowd numbers can be illusive. The first time I experienced this phenomenon was while painting a beach scene many decades ago.
After painting 86 figures I got tired of the task and very disappointed on how void the scene still was of people.
Decades later (now), I am about to face the same crisis of painting hundreds of figurines for a large small-scale diorama. It really did not hit me until I unpacked several hundred figurines and sorted them out into their poses. . . (my ice cube tray came in handy).
Somewhat in disbelief I decided to research 'how many people make a crowd'.
This is what I found out.
I really feel sorry for those war games modellers.
